verification code?

[fibre005]

I just tried to get a verification code to verify my card, and I was told to check my card statement for the code. Which of the card statement is being referred to, the paypal statement or my bank statement?

That would be your credit card statement as you can only add a credit card to a Nigerian paypal account.

I use a debit card, not a credit card on my paypal. 
the statement I have received from the bank, does not have the code described by Paypal.

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.

Also the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
